this is my 6K hid



Id do 4300K or 5K next time. 6K looks great but id rather have the light output

 

booo hid kits!!! S2000 Projector retro fit FTW!






and it's only 4300k bulbs

 

I got 6000K when I did my retro fit and i'm regretting it now...when I do them over this winter, i'm going to get a set of 4300K.

 

hids hurt my eyes

 

here are mine 10k, i wan the the 6k super whites though.

 

^^^ and that is exactly why PnP HID kits are horrible.

 

^^Mad hot spots...

That looks TERRIBLE. PNP kits do look really bad in non projector cars. The H4 bulbs seem to suffer the most. Integra PNP kits look a ton better than that.

4300k is the brightest with the most light output and a very nice pattern. It is the closest emulation of sunlight.

Yup. here's a little comparison for the PNP people vs. OEM HIDS

My buddies E46. 9000k pnp kit...



Can you say hot spot? LoL

And now, to the S2000 Projector Retro Fit, 4300k Bulbs may I add



Way more coverage.. and way more output. Kick the PNP's and get with the retro fit if you want bright lights.

 

Well, it depends. I guess if my GSR was my "fun car", I'd do the S2000 HID retro. However, at the cost of buying 2 S2000 projectors, The HID ballasts, and bulbs, you're in it for between $500-1000. That's if you do the work yourself.

FOR HEADLIGHTS?!!!!


I mean...I love aesthetics and all....but...well whatever. Since the DC allready has projectors, PNP kits work pretty well. PNP kits work terrible in cars with reflector housings that are'nt OEM HID equipped. Ricers always feel like they should blind you with their Las Vegas on wheels show. Or considerate people buy PNP kits for their reflector beam cars and end up not being able to see very well most of the time.

I think the H4 suffers the most. I've seen some good looking RSX PNP setups.

Even OEM HID reflectors (lexus IS300, nissan maxipad, 3.2 TL, etc) look not so good. There's a lot of glare. I think HIDs were meant for projectors like peanut butter was meant for jelly.

 

these are my 12 k too PURPLE almost pink lol

 

OMG mad glare....

I spent about $650 total including my old PnP kit and the parts for my retrofit. I think it's worth every penny, even more so on a daily driver.

Every RSX I've seen w/ HID in the stock reflector housings looked like junk with mad glare. I cuss them every time I see one.

dude. that's horrible. my eyes are bleeding from looking at it. Sincere question for you, do you think that looks nice?

 

i personally like em they are not as bright as they seem pic was taken with my cell phone

 

i bet you do like em. and yes, the camera may make it look a bit worst, but output is still bad though. to each it's own

but allow me if you will to try to convince you to get something that is "brighter" in output and not in color. If you go to a lower bulb rating, i'll guarentee you that you'll notice more "useable" light.

 

its not integra but i have a set of 12000 in my wagon and there pretty nice
